Positioned within the heart of the popular village of Charsfield, London House is a beautifully presented family home, with delightful period features throughout. Having been sympathetically extended by the current owners, the property offers over 3,000 sq ft of internal accommodation arranged over three floors.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the ground floor. To the front of the property is a cosy sitting room with fireplace and woodburning stove, and a light family room. To the rear of the property is the part-vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke Orwell kitchen, oil-fired Aga and breakfast bar with additional space for informal dining. Adjacent to the kitchen is the impressive garden/dining room. Offering a fully glazed gable end overlooking the garden, and stunning vaulted beams, the room has created a fabulous space in which to entertain or for the family to gather. Completing the ground floor is a study/bedroom with utility room beside and shower room. Together these rooms also have the potential to create a separate annexe or guest suite, ideal for multi-generational living. A cellar accessed from the entrance hall offers useful storage.
